A dental emergency includes severe pain, swelling, bleeding, infection, a broken or knocked-out tooth, or damage to existing dental work that affects your comfort or ability to chew. If you’re unsure, it’s always safest to call your dentist right away.
Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Gently rinse it with water if dirty, place it in milk or a saline solution, and visit your dentist within 30 to 60 minutes for the best chance of saving it.
Hospital emergency rooms can help manage pain or serious bleeding, but they typically cannot provide dental treatment. Whenever possible, contact your dentist first for faster and more effective care.
Rinse with warm salt water, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and take over-the-counter pain medication as directed. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.
Most dental insurance plans cover part of the cost for urgent procedures such as exams, fillings, or extractions. Our team can review your benefits and provide a clear estimate before treatment begins.
